For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter or olive oil before pressure cooking. Adjust the amount of pesto to your liking. Some prefer a more subtle pesto flavor. Fresh basil leaves can be added as a garnish for an extra touch of freshness. If you don't have ricotta, cream cheese or mascarpone can be substituted, though the flavor will be slightly different. To make this dish vegetarian, ensure your Parmesan cheese is made with vegetarian rennet.
